Model and budding entrepreneur Karlie Kloss was seen yesterday riding a Citi Bike in New York, taking to the street in her practical chic off-duty uniform: classic oxford shirt, and perfectly faded jeans. The best part of Kloss’s look? It’s built around everyday essentials that will carry you for seasons to come. Invest in a great white shirt (we suggest borrowing from the boys with a simple Charvet), pair with basic blue jeans and ground with a black ballet flats that will only get better with time. Slip any tech essentials into a lightweight fabric tote—that way you won’t throw your bicycle (or your style) off balance.
